Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter

Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, maple syrup, lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Baking Dish: Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the preheating oven to melt the butter while the oven heats up.

      Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. It should be light and frothy.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the butter has melted in the baking dish, carefully remove it from the oven. Pour the batter directly into the hot butter, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

          Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven door while baking, as it may deflate the pancake.

            Serve: Once baked, remove the pancake from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then cut into slices. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with your choice of fresh berries, maple syrup, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
